Harvard Business Review
The conventional wisdom — that the best care is delivered in person by experienced caregivers — may soon be overturned. Rising healthcare costs, a shortage of physicians and a rapidly aging population are making the traditional model of care increasingly unsustainable. But new uses of virtual health and digital technologies may help the industry manage these challenges.

Patients pay equal attention to online ratings that measure a physician’s clinical ability as well as those that measure the patient experience, according to a new study. Both factors are important to patients when choosing a primary care doctor, according to the study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

Robert Ito writes: "I‘m the attending physician in a pediatric trauma room, and my patient, a girl who looks to be about 12, is going into anaphylactic shock. 'Do something,' her mother screams. I check the girl’s breathing (sounds funny); I check her pulse (seems OK, but who knows?). To my right is a red cart loaded with assorted medications. A voice behind me tells me to give her a dose of epinephrine. 'Is she dying?' I ask. I’m not experiencing some sort of medically themed night terror, nor am I the planet’s worst doctor. I’m not even a physician."

The government needs better information to know whether the country is training enough future doctors to meet patient needs, according to a Government Accountability Office report. In a new report, the GAO recommended that the Department of Health and Human Services get a better handle on those data to help ensure government funds that go toward paying for residency training are being used effectively.

 Put yourself in your patient's position: You're in your hospital bed, awaiting the doctor's arrival for your initial workup. But hold on. The white-coated young man who comes into the room couldn't have a medical license — he barely looks old enough to have a driver's license. Yet, of course, he is a doctor — a resident under your supervision, to be exact. You want your patient to relax and trust that your resident isn't going to drop the ball. So how do you achieve this goal?

The Medical Simulation and Information Research Program is actively investigating the state of the science and the state of the market regarding the use of medical robotic, semi-autonomous, and autonomous battlefield medical systems and technologies on the future front. In order for these future technologies to be useful, they must possess capabilities that can operate in real-time to either directly assist the medical provider or perform as the medical provider in order to deliver the correct medical interventions to the casualty at the time they are needed.

Artificial intelligence is no longer reserved for sci-fi movies, it now travels in your pocket. Soon it will help you be healthier or receive a more precise and quicker diagnosis and even a personalized treatment scheme. AI for healthcare is slowly overcoming regulatory barriers and entering the mainstream. Cost savings generated by using AI are not negligible either. A report from McKinsey estimates that by using big-data powered strategies in healthcare, savings could be as high as $100 billion annually.

When two people coordinate their movements, such as by holding hands or moving furniture, they exchange physical cues through the objects that connect them. New research published in PLOS Computational Biology suggests that stiffer connections allow for better communication but require more effort to achieve coordination. Atsushi Takagi of Tokyo Institute of Technology and colleagues set out to better understand how interaction strategies change with stiffness. They asked 14 pairs of people to chase a common target on a screen with a cursor using coordinated wrist movements. A robotic interface was used to simulate a virtual elastic band connecting each pair's wrists.

 We live in a highly politicized time in the American national conversation, and nursing and healthcare are not immune from this phenomenon. At times it seems that everything is political in nature — and perhaps most things are in the 21st century. For nurses who care about the state of the industry in which we find ourselves building our careers, being politically aware is simply an intelligent modus operandi.
